Secret Words of Immortality Chapter 62 Ghost Town Suspicion
"Crazy, what is it that looks so good?" Jia Fatzi, who was lying on the ground, was a little anxious, so he stood up and approached, and when he saw the bloody horse skeleton, he jumped back two steps in surprise and shouted out in a lost voice:
"This ...... Is this the big white horse? How did you blink an eye, why did it become a big skeleton? ”
Mu Zifeng didn't pay attention to Jia Fatzi, he was just carefully inspecting the horse skeleton, because Mu Zifeng really couldn't understand what kind of ghost could devour a horse in just a few tens of seconds?
He took out a fire fold from his pocket, wiped it and lit it, and under the dim light of the fire fold, Mu Zifeng squatted down and stared intently at the horse skeleton. The bones of the white forest looked very dazzling in the dark night.
The skeleton roughly maintains the posture of the big white horse struggling before death, with its legs pushed forward, its hind legs swinging backwards, the horse's neck facing up at 75 degrees, its mouth open, and its teeth bared and unclosed, retaining the posture of desperately calling for help before dying.
From this point of view, Mu Zifeng speculated that the big white horse must have fallen into extreme pain during his lifetime.
The hand holding the fire fold suddenly trembled a little, because Mu Zifeng saw that the horse's ribs were soaked with red blood, and there were several deep marks between the skeletons.
What are the causes of these tooth marks? Mu Zifeng was quite puzzled, he couldn't help but gently caress the skeleton with his hand, and the touch of the backflow from his fingertips made him realize that it was a tooth mark.
What kind of monster is lurking in the lake, with such sharp teeth that it can separate the flesh and blood of the big white horse like cutting grass, and gnaw only the bones?
Looking at the natural world, the creature that can not only achieve this ability, but also walk in the water, is it a piranha?
As we all know, piranhas are a notorious species, Mu Zifeng heard the biology teacher say when he was in school: piranhas are brutal by nature, have extremely sharp teeth, and often attack large animals in the form of swarms to attack large animals that strayed into their territory.
Their bite is so powerful that they can tear flesh apart with ease.
They can assemble in a very short time, and eat a buffalo or even a human with only a pile of bones.
However, piranhas only survive in South America, and there are no traces of piranhas in Asian waters, and they are unlikely to appear in an unnamed lake deep in the Qingshan Mountains.
Well, there is only one explanation:
There are ghosts in the lake!
Because no other species can do everything but ghosts.
Even if this bloody incident is explained as the work of water ghosts, there is another strange idea that plagues Mu Zifeng, that is, the terrain here.
I remember that the map depicts the terrain here, and it is obviously the area where two rivers, Changshui and Yishui, intersect, and Yangshui Town is located here.
As far as the eye can see, the wind is gusting on the lake, the red moon is bending, and the black clouds are hanging low. That mysterious lake is no longer in the mood.
Looking at the mountains and rivers, there are no other flowing rivers.
"Crazy, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go first!" Jia Fatzi saw that Mu Zifeng was stunned for a long time, and saw that the scene by the lake was quite weird, so he didn't want to stay any longer, and repeatedly urged Mu Zifeng to leave as soon as possible.
"Well, fatty, you're right." Mu Zifeng stood up and sighed: "Pity this big white horse." ”
"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, don't blame us." Hearing Mu Zifeng talk about the big white horse, Jia Fatzi became a little superstitious, he ripped off some aquatic plants by the lake, spread them on the horse bones, and pressed a few big stones.
The fat man of Najia clasped his hands together and said nonsense in his mouth: "Brother Ma, bless us to find the treasure, and then the fat man will come to repay his wish and build a luxurious tomb for you." ”
This fat man turned out to make a fortune for himself, and he made a wish! Mu Zifeng shook his head, turned around and walked forward along the lake.
"Fatty, if you don't leave, the water ghosts in the lake will come ashore to catch you and let you be buried for the big white horse." Mu Zifeng dropped a sentence as he walked.
"Hey, I just look at it pitiful, and help it build a grave!" Seeing that Mu Zifeng had slipped away first, Jia Fatzi hurriedly chased after him: "Crazy, let me tell you, I feel like I'm going to get rich." ”
"Rich? I think you've got a fever! Mu Zifeng thought to himself, he was unjustly convicted, there were chasing soldiers later, and he was even ghosted, in this barren mountains and mountains, it would be good to be able to save his life, where to get rich?
"No, madman, you're a college student, you're a great talent, you know how to walk with your head down, you look up, what is written on it?" Jia Fatzi clapped his hands excitedly and shouted: "There seems to be a treasure word, no, it must be a treasure word, and there is a ground word, I know these two words, treasure land!" ”
This time, Fat Jia was right, the moment Mu Zifeng raised his head, he found that a treasure appeared in front of him.
It is a huge stone archway about three or four zhang wide and four or five zhang high.
Mu Zifeng, who studied traditional culture since childhood, deeply knows that the archway is a characteristic building of Chinese culture, according to legend, since the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the building archway has become a fashion, and its use has welcomed, commendation, etc., representing the prosperity of a family and a region.
Just looking at the appearance of the archway, I am afraid that it has a history of thousands of years.
Walking by the lake just now, although the archway is huge, Mu Zifeng didn't even notice its existence, and he actually let the greedy Jia Fat Man see it at a glance.
Looking at this archway carefully, just by its regulations, Mu Zifeng was amazed.
Since ancient times, the archway has "one room and two columns", "three rooms and four columns", "five rooms and six columns" and other shapes. The number of buildings on the top of the archway is the first floor, the third floor, the fifth floor, the seventh floor, the ninth floor, and so on. The biggest regulation of the archway is the archway in the Forbidden City of the Northern Qing Emperor, known as "five rooms, six pillars and eleven floors", with yellow glazed tiles, extremely luxurious and dazzling.
And the archway in front of him is actually "five rooms, six pillars and eleven floors", which is generally high in regulation with the archway built by the emperor of the Northern Qing Dynasty.
Although there is no yellow glazed tile in the stone archway, but the whole body is made of white marble, carved with auspicious clouds, although under the action of water vapor and wind erosion, the stone carving of the archway is somewhat weathered, but the hazy, mysterious beauty, adds the unique charm of the archway.
Moving your eyes to the center of the archway, there is a huge stone plaque hanging on it, which is engraved with four vigorous characters:
Treasure of the Ground.
Mu Zifeng couldn't help but read those four words out loud.
"Hey, madman!" Jia Fatzi rubbed his hands and grinned: "I said I didn't lie to you!" Isn't this a treasure in the ground? Otherwise, let's find a stick to dig up, maybe there is a treasure hidden under this big stone gate! ”
Dream, if you don't read, you can't recognize all the words, Mu Zifeng glanced at Jia Fatzi.
"What are you looking at me? Am I not right? Seeing Mu Zifeng's disdainful expression, Fat Jia was a little unconvinced.
"Fatty, you're right, and you're not right!" Mu Zifeng stroked his palm, nodded first, and then shook his head.
"That's right, it's not right, that's right!" The second monk Jia Fatzi was confused.
"These four words are the treasure of the earth, which means the treasure land of feng shui here, the holy mirror fairy domain." Mu Zifeng pointed to Qingshan Ridge and pointed to the nameless lake: "You see that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, gathering dragon energy, and it is really a good place to live." ”
"If it's not right, how can it be right?" When Fat Jia heard Mu Zifeng's explanation, he was like a deflated ball, languishing.
"Because this stone tablet is indeed a treasure, Professor Wu must be very excited when he sees it." Mu Zifeng exclaimed: "Creation makes people, but who would have expected that five stone archways with six pillars and eleven floors would appear in the countryside. ”
"Hey, this guy is worth a fortune?" When Fat Jia heard the word Bao, he immediately regained his vitality as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he raised his foot and kicked the base of the stone archway.
"To build such an archway, it must be a very powerful person, and there is no second archway in the country that exists with such regulations!"
"What's the use of that? Such a big block, and can't be moved? Fat Jia remembered something again, shook his head, touched his arm, and sighed: "This lake is weird and gloomy, let's leave quickly." ”
Although the archway is good, it is nothing more than a pile of stones for two people who have fled, and it is of little use. Mu Zifeng pondered in his heart, it was now the second half of the night, although the mountain ghosts and the plainclothes team were nowhere to be seen, Mu Zifeng and the others were also exhausted, and they had to find a place to hide. , by the way, take a break.
The back road is broken, and they can only go all the way forward.
So, after passing through the stone archway, Mu Zifeng found himself on a strange road.
The road under your feet is no longer muddy, but hard to step on.
Mu Zifeng leaned down, waved away the floating dust with his hand, brushed aside the weeds, and found that it was actually a black slate.
As we walked on, something even more surprising happened, and the road was lined up with houses on two sides.
There are grass houses, there are tiled houses, some have collapsed, some are covered with cobwebs, and some are still standing.
"Crazy, this is a village!" Jia Fatzi leaned into Mu Zifeng's ear and said, "Why do you feel unpopular?" ”
Indeed, Mu Zifeng walked more than 30 meters and found that the entire town was empty, only barren grass and dilapidated houses.
There are no fields, no livestock, and no breath of life.
The doors of many houses were wide open, and only the sound of the wind breaking through the houses was like a ghost crying.
They walked on for a while, but at last they came to the end, with mountains in the distance.
"It looks like it's an abandoned village." Mu Zifeng patted Jia Fatzi on the shoulder: "No, let's just find a room that hasn't collapsed and deal with it at night, right?" ”
"Is there anyone?" didn't wait for Mu Zifeng to finish speaking, the reckless Jia Fat suddenly shouted, and actually shouted out the sound.
His terrible shouts echoed through the empty streets.
"Why? You're going to summon the ghosts! Mu Zifeng pushed the fat man's head.
"Alas, anyway, we're in the light, they're in the dark, it's better to ask directly!" Jia Fatzi explained.
Mu Zifeng just wanted to scold, but a grass hut on their left made a "bang" sound.
